bigorexia 恐瘦症

Muscle dysmorphia, also known as "bigorexia", may now be affecting one in 10 men who visit gyms in the UK, according to the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation.

英国身体畸形恐惧症基金会指出，英国健身房里大约10%的男性会员有肌肉上瘾症或健身过度症，也被称为“恐瘦症”。

It is an anxiety disorder which causes someone to see themselves as small, despite being big and muscular. Workout is their top priority, they would feel depressed if they miss one session of fitness training. It is sometimes described as a kind of "reverse anorexia".

这其实是一种焦虑症，本来外形高达健硕的人却总觉得自己太瘦小。健身锻炼是他们的首要任务，如果错过了一次训练，他们就会沮丧不已。这种情况有时也被描述为“逆向厌食症”。
